Congratulations! I’m sure it couldn’t have happened to anyone more deserving or in need of some blessed relief. Lap it up and enjoy the prize. I feel like doing a happy dance for you 🙂
We are so happy for you and the family. You are still the best and such a loving mom. You deserve to have some fun and memories with Piper,Spencer, Axel and Charley. I know that TuTu is looking down on you and smiling and saying “that’s my mom, she’s the best”. Be sure to take lots of pictures on your trip. We would love to see them.
We love you and are so proud of you.

Congratulations! So very deserving. They totally picked the right person. Have a great, healing time in PC, Utah.

“Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
Who can say if I’ve been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
And because I knew you…
Because I knew you…
I have been changed for good…”
Praying for you always…
AWESOME!!! And guess what my word verification word was?? “wagan”!!!
There is a mom(blogger) named Molly who live in Park City. She lost her daughter May 2008 when she choked on an apple. It’s sad, but she’s amazing. She is also part of the Angels Among Us blog(those who’ve lost their sweet children). Thought you might want to get in touch with her. I’ve heard it helps talking with other mom’s who Just Know!!!! Of course maybe it’s too soon to meet other mom’s with heartache. I don’t know, just thought I’d let you know about her. Hugs to you and your family.

1 John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

You are so blessed and such a great mom. It has been so long since I saw you last (actually before you held the illustrious title of “Mom”). You and Charley deserve this so much. Know that your sassy girl Miss Tuesday is watching and smiling down on you. Peace to you and yours, cindy lou
Oh YAY!! I am so glad you won this!!! I admit I went to the site and nominated your family too. I am sooooo thankful you and your family won this amazing opportunity. Go. Have a great time. It’s beautiful there. You all deserve it!!!! Thanks for being such an inspiration 🙂
I just wanted to let you know I went back to the nominations and I counted FOUR people who nominated you!!
Here is the thread: http://mommygossip-gno.blogspot.com/2009/02/win-free-park-city-mountain-resort.html
Again – you sooooooo deserve this. So so so happy for you!
Congratulations Jess! you deserve this more than anyone I know!
We are so excited to have you and your family here in Park City. You are a well-deserving winner! We’ll see you this summer.
Congratulations on your win, you deserve it. We have never met, but I come to your blog from time to time and leave without commenting. I guess I am not sure what to say, or that there is nothing that can be said that hasn’t already been said by someone else. I am so sorry for your loss – I know the sadness I feel when I read your posts and I cannot imagine the hurt that you feel living through the experiences. I am so happy that you won this trip, I hope your family has a great time.
